PythonAnywhere

Top Pro

Easy setup

It's literally a matter of minutes to get a Python-backed website up and running. See More

Top Con

Python-only on the server side

Obviously you can put JavaScript in your web pages and so on, but you can't use Rails or Node. See More

Top Pro

Free option

You can run a website at USERNAME.pythonanywhere.com for free, and it's good enough for a light-traffic website -- it runs 24/7. You get a free MySQL or SQLite database too. See More

Top Con

No WebSocket support

Top Pro

Not too expensive

A basic site with no custom domain is free. $5 a month will afford the user enough power for a typical 100,000 hit a day website. See More

Top Pro

Easy scaling

You pay for a number of "Workers" for your web app (to handle requests), or CPU seconds for code that you run outside a web app, and you can get more workers or CPU seconds by upgrading your plan any time. See More

Top Pro

Excellent customer service

Really fast turnaround, friendly. See More

Top Pro

Flexible payments

You can pay monthly and cancel any time, or pay for a year up front to get a discount. See More

DigitalOcean

Top Pro

Pay-as-you-go with multiple payment options

Billing is done per hour. Each month has a 672 hour (28-day) billing cap with server runtime past that point being free of charge. DigitalOcean accepts payments via Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal. See More

Arya Shantanu Sharma's Experience

My experience was good. But I've configured the web server on my own, with Gunicorn, Supervisor, Nginx and MySQL. I've also used spaces there for static files. See More
